Haunted Mansion: New TV Spot As The Film Hits Disney+
Haunted Mansion is now streaming on Disney+ after not making much of an impact at the worldwide box office back in July. With that, we have a new TV spot.
It's spooky season, and that means it's time for some spooky movies. Or at least some spookier films. Disney might have fumbled the release of Haunted Mansion horribly back in July, but dropping it on Disney+ in early October just in time for everyone to add it to their list of Halloween movies? That's how you do this right. The film is now streaming, and with that, Disney has released a new TV spot.
To say that Haunted Mansion didn't quite land how Disney wanted it to would be the understatement of summer 2023. In general, Disney did not come out on top with any of their films, with only Elemental hanging around long enough to make an impact. The other big movies didn't do as well, and Haunted Mansion didn't stand a chance against the absolute world domination that was Barbie and Oppenheimer. While no one could have predicted that those two films would have been that massive, all the writing was on the wall. Disney could have easily delayed the film to October or even September when there was less competition, but they thought they could compete, and the movie just wasn't good enough to stand up against those two juggernauts. Ultimately, the film only grossed just over $100 million at the worldwide box office and with a budget of $150 million or more before marketing? That's a problem. Maybe now it will find a second life on streaming.
